NEC ND-1300A probs
Nice forum, hope y;all can help me out here.
Background: Purchased an external 4x2x12 Cendyne piece of garbage. Would not play Nemo, would not even recognize the dvds that compgeeks.com sent free w/ the burner were in the drive. So, I bought some sony dvd+r discs and had a bit of luck, burned two coasters and finally one worked. Well, not anymore
I'm soooo sour right now, I've spent the last three nights trying to sort the problem w/ this POJ. Inside the external casing is an NEC ND-1300A.
I've updated the firmware from the original 1.05 it came with to 1.08, no workie at all. showed as a cdrom wouldn't recognize a dvd. Backed up to firmware rev 1.07 a little more luck. Called compgeeks today, told them the prob and he sends me a link to the newest firmware 1.0A. Says the discs they sent were defective (Should have emailed me as soon as they knew!) and they'd send some more. So I go to wally world and buy some more Sonys. Same crap. still won't read nemo, will read xmen but it takes a bit. When I put a blank dvd in, it doesn't recognize it. Doesn't seem to have much of a prob w/ data dvds like my backed up mp3s.
I'm ready to toss this. It's the absolute worst piece of hardware I've ever owned.
Can anyone help or give ideas? I'd be glad to answer any more questions concerning it.
thx!!
